Here's a question for the panel: If the common sheeple weren't forced to spend their money on the common necessities that normal sheeple need, like food and water, at large all-day festival shows how much more do you think they would be inclined to spend on the other "corporations'" (ie, the bands') merchandise? Hmmmm?
Here's another thought: During outdoor summer festival events I think festival sponsors should provide, FOR FREE, huge fucking sombreros for any patrons who may have under-estimated the effects of sun's potent rays coming through a paper-thin ozone layer. That's right, free sombreros for all! It's the BIG CORPS who lobby for the government to look the other way while they get away with destroying the environment. Sorry for the pessimism and negativity, folks, but I haven't subjected myself to an all-day outdoor festival event in several years. I just don't remember the sun feeling as intense as it does today. The air temperature the day of Ozzfest at Tweeter-Chicago was not that high so it shouldn't have felt that bad, but to me it did. Blaaaah. The Earth is spiralling uncontrollably into the sun and we're ALL GOING TO DIE!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
